What is Archons of Avenshar?

Archons of Avenshar is a fantasy-themed, text based role playing game, where players assume the role
of an adventurer, merchant, or noble. Game play is similar in concept to many of the MUDS one
might find on the internet today. However, instead of every activity being handled via pure text, visual
metaphors are used to assist the player with certain actions. For example, instead of trying to learn
and understand the command interface used to send in-game mail from one player to another, an intuitive
graphical interface accepts user input via mouse -- similar to many graphical programs most people are already
used to.

AoA still uses the written word to convey information about a player's environment. Players use text
commands to interact with the world around them. Commands typically follow a simple verb-noun form and
should be fairly easy to use once the basic syntax is understood.

By maintaining an immersive atmosphere through text and by utilizing graphical elements to make certain
tasks easier, Archons of Avenshar should be fun for anyone with an imagination and a love for fantasy adventure.
